Are you making an argument for me or against me? I’d hate to state the obvious too. Seriously, you’re going to compare Homer with one year under his belt under MR, with Golden-coached and developed players? You make my point, BK was good, if no one hit him, and by the stats you quote, the running game didn’t help him.
I know, a stat comparison makes for a compelling argument. However, comparing stats only matters In retrospect, I believe. With Homer experienced, and Rosier a little more seasoned, I see a more balanced offense under MR, knowing his tendencies. We also happen to have better TE/WR talent this year. So either Rosier delivers, and we have a decent running game, or Rosier flubs and we have to rely greatly on the running game, ending up with great numbers. The OL only has to be decent to start with, but if Rosier and the running game don’t show up, no OL in the world can stop a defense smelling blood (You made that point with BK). My argument is based on the talent/experience/coaching I see, and I see more production out of this offense than last year’s.
